It was kind of a crazy start with everything going on in our lives. His meet the teacher & school open house was just a few days after I went into the hospital. We didn't quite make it there and school started just a few days later. It's been quite the process to get his records transferred over from Texas. We met with a district person during the summer to sign a new IEP and get things going, but come to find out... the day before school started...there had been some miscommunications between the district, his teacher and transportation. It was crazy, I was trying to sort things out over the phone at the hospital and Stephen with his teacher.... It took a while and we are still trying to a few things out, but what a stress! Stephen has been such a trooper stepping in as mr. mom.
It's hard not to be as involved as I want to be with his school, but that's just how it will have to be for now. He has a great teacher and she is so wonderful in working with our situation. School was a harder transition for him this year, than last. Part with me being in the hospital and part with how early it is. We have to wake him up at 6:00 just so we can get ready and out the door to catch his bus at 6:45, which he rides for an hour before school starts at 7:40.
Since daddy forgot on the first day of school, here's the 2nd day of school picture! Way too early in the morning, in his school uniform and still in casts.
Walking down the hall to find his new teacher and friends.
Despite all the craziness. Andrew has been looking forward to school and asking for his school bus since the last day of school. It's so fun to hear him talk about what he does each day and the friends he plays with in his class. As far as I can gather...from his 3 year old self...he is sad and cries when his music teacher Miss Missy leaves. Music is his absolute favorite time of the day!
